I was looking to start brewing, but I'm not an Ale fan and decided to get the regular brew kit and a recipe instead of the deluxe kit with the American Pale Ale.

Holiday Ale
I've made this several times and it's always a favorite. Try adding 2lbs frozen cranberries at the 60' boil and 2lbs frozen cranberries at knockoff for an additional holiday kick.

Tasted ok for me, others thought it was great.
Followed the recipe on this one. I guess I am not a big fan of spiced beer, flavor was not BAD and the results came out fine. My brother and daughter loved it. I am saving three six packs for next thanksgiving.

If you like the style....
I have brewed this one twice. If you like a gently spiced dark ale, you will like this one. This year I added 2 tbs of dark cocoa powder with the spices and it turned out nice. It is a bit like Sam Adams Old Fezziwig. I would brew it a third time next christmas if I'm too lazy to attempt my own recipe of this style.

Kit 619 Holiday Ale
Made this for Christmas and everyone loved it including my beer club. By far my favorite beer of the three I made for the holidays. Great Carmel taste with just a hint of cinnamon and all spice. A very clear beer with super creamy head.

Tasty Winter Treat
Very similar to a “Ginger Snap” ale I created a couple of years ago. The blend of spices and malt flavors are excellent. Great cold weather beer for the whole winter, not just the holidays. This one ages well, so I’d recommend an October brew to give it a little time if you bottle.
